jacs-length-management

separate

Use when choosing between an Article and a Communication and meeting ACS format norms for a Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) manuscript. Decides format and trims to fit — it does not add new results.

When to use

• deciding Article vs Communication
• manuscript over- or under-length for chosen format
• determining what moves to SI to fit format norms
• disciplining high figure/scheme count
• right-sizing main text
• trimming tactics without losing rigor
• verifying current JACS format/limit norms
• returning a claim-evidence-risk ledger

When not to use

• adding new results
• hard-coding outdated word/figure limits
• padding an Article with optimization narration
• figure sprawl with near-duplicate schemes
• trimming so hard that a key claim loses supporting evidence
• choosing Communication for a story needing Article-level support
